SecureCells: A Secure Compartmentalized Architecture

Babak Falsafi, Mathias Josef Payer, Yuanlong Li, Andrés Sánchez Marín, Florian Hofhammer, Siddharth Gupta, Atri Bhattacharyya

Modern programs are monolithic, combining code of varied provenance without isolation, all the while running on network-connected devices. A vulnerability in any component may compromise code and data of all other components. Compartmentalization separates ...

Benchmarking, Analysis, and Optimization of Serverless Function Snapshots

Edouard Bugnion, Evangelos Marios Kogias, Boris Robert Grot, Dmitrii Ustiugov

Serverless computing has seen rapid adoption due to its high scalability and flexible, pay-as-you-go billing model. In serverless, developers structure their services as a collection of functions, sporadically invoked by various events like clicks. High in ...

Rebooting Virtual Memory with Midgard

Babak Falsafi, Mathias Josef Payer, Siddharth Gupta, Atri Bhattacharyya, Yunho Oh, Abhishek Bhattacharjee

Computer systems designers are building cache hierarchies with higher capacity to capture the ever-increasing working sets of modern workloads. Cache hierarchies with higher capacity improve system performance but shift the performance bottleneck to addres ...

Miss-Optimized Memory Systems: Turning Thousands of Outstanding Misses into Reuse Opportunities

Mikhail Asiatici

Even if Dennard scaling came to an end fifteen years ago, Moore' s law kept fueling an exponential growth in compute performance through increased parallelization. However, the performance of memory and, in particular, Dynamic Random Access Memory (DRAM), ...

Software Support for Non-Volatile Memory (NVM) Programming

David Teksen Aksun

Non-Volatile Memory (NVM) is an emerging type of memory device that provides fast, byte-addressable, and high-capacity durable storage. NVM sits on the memory bus and allows durable data structures designs similar to the in-memory equivalent ones. Expensiv ...

Prefetched Address Translation

Edouard Bugnion, Boris Robert Grot, Dmitrii Ustiugov

With explosive growth in dataset sizes and increasing machine memory capacities, per-application memory footprints are commonly reaching into hundreds of GBs. Such huge datasets pressure the TLB, resulting in frequent misses that must be resolved through a ...

Near-Memory Address Translation

Javier Picorel Obando

Virtual memory (VM) is a crucial abstraction in modern computer systems at any scale, from handheld devices to datacenters. VM provides programmers the illusion of an always sufficiently large and linear memory, making programming easier. Although the core ...

Near-Memory Address Translation

Babak Falsafi, Javier Picorel Obando, Dorde Jevdic

Memory and logic integration on the same chip is becoming increasingly cost effective, creating the opportunity to offload data-intensive functionality to processing units placed inside memory chips. The introduction of memory-side processing units (MPUs) ...

A Methodology For Optimizing Buffer Sizes Of Dynamic Dataflow Fpgas Implementations

Marco Mattavelli, Claudio Paolo Alberti, Simone Casale Brunet, Ab Al Hadi Bin Ab Rahman

Minimizing buffer sizes of dynamic dataflow implementations without introducing deadlocks or reducing the design performance is in general an important and useful design objective. Indeed, buffer sizes that are too small causing a system to deadlock during ...

OLTP in Wonderland -- Where do cache misses come from in major OLTP components?

Anastasia Ailamaki, Pinar Tözün

For several decades, online transaction processing has been one of the main applications that drives innovations in the data management ecosystem, and in turn the database and computer architecture communities. Despite the novel approaches from industry an ...

Reducing OLTP Instruction Misses With Thread Migration

Anastasia Ailamaki, Pinar Tözün

During an instruction miss a processor is unable to fetch instructions. The more frequent instruction misses are the less able a modern processor is to find useful work to do and thus performance suffers. Online transaction processing (OLTP) suffers from h ...

Last-touch correlated data streaming

Babak Falsafi, Michael Ferdman

Recent research advocates address-correlating predictors to identify cache block addresses for prefetch. Unfortunately, address-correlating predictors require correlation data storage proportional in size to a program's active memory footprint. As a result ...
